that Knowing came today
in a casket it lay
a thing revealed i say
that which lived
— now dead
that mystery of mysteries
live on —
in sun drenched skies

MY WAR
I saw a reason today
to walk into a war
and she said it’s okay
and I went for family
and i was a brave heart
and mortars fell beside me
and the day never ended
one day I took a phone call
and she said today my dear
something has changed
and it’s my heart
I took bullets and death
and my dream was for you
and the children at your feet
she used to love me a lot
and I remember the good times
and prayed it’s not too late
to start again to start again
but her bullets tore through me
and her war was more than that
where i was sitting that day
and today i am a casaulty
she used to love me
yes, she once loved me
but the war is now won
I gave it my best shot
but love is an enemy at best
and God has His plan for life

A HUNDRED POEMS – XXVI
And would the sun shine more coldly
if the light within my soul dimmed?
and would the song of birds mute
if my voice became a silence?
within you would feeling die?
and if the eyes from which I see
would shut close forevermore
would life be a darkness for you?
these things I do not know dear
because no longer do humans write
ink upon paper that be sent forth
so my well of ink is dry and thoughts
If mere words some more poetic be
that could stir the heart of you
then love me more than what words say
and let Heaven count the numbers
I’ve a field to walk and dig the ground
and the sun is fair today dear love
today the grace of nature be with me

MY HANDS
My hands met my face
a flung emotion
in place of terror
a comfort for my soul
when i saw your state
my compass broken
and needle spun
when dark meet light
My hands met my face
the fingers dove
inside my tender soul
when I saw your grace
a walk in the fire
burns many and so
but not your spirit
and my hands quiver

THE WALK-ABOUT
(c) E.P. Robles
I was walking my walk-about
just clicking time
upon my heels on Earth
and there came to me
not from within you see
but from the clouds
a voice from heaven
listen soul tread softly
and never turn around
devil hounds are running
as long as you don’t see
mind your journey ahead
and they’ll let you be
I’m just clicking my heels
one step at a time
minding my own business
Miles I’ve gone and more
and my feet so sore
but that sign ahead
says to me a detour
But I can’t leave my path
there’s just too much to see
and that sign is a mirage
so I’ll keep clicking my heels
I’m walking the road of life

THE BEACH
(c) E.P. Robles
there were orange sherbet skies
a blanket of deep blue waves
and a white beach comforter too
I said to you my dear lover
let this be a dream for life
and never awake me or you
and i want you to know
deep within my heart
i never want you to go
let’s play with the water
and sing with the dolphin
i comb your hair with a shell
and darling never awake
dream upon my tan shoulder
and i will kiss you forever

BORN INSIDE
Born inside a bruised dirt-womb
and tasted asphalt before sweets
and fell into the fire feet first, damn
before my first baby steps too
life is trying to kill me
no matter how hard I try
spit and words don’t help much
but sure makes me feel good
death can have me —
but not today
no matter how hard it tries
death is trying to catch me
it can take the highway
because today I’m walking
walking in the flowers
beneath the sun

GOD-POKER
I stepped outside the deck of cards
an infinite pile of here and now’s
a brand which the Gods call life
and took a peek ahead the hand
that fate had prepared for me —
a shuffle here and cut and cut
and peeked again and smiled
no need to cheat —
when one’s heart the ACE

A HUNDRED POEMS – XXI
When does that end
come
let the new shed life
what left in that past
never was
only seasons do melt
between
what, when, how

A WORLD THAT LIVES
LIFE has a reason
not just to live
it’s a lesson
to make you see
that what you think
is not what you see
what in the world
are we all
thinking of?
the burden is on
those of you
who think and feel
how is the world
gonna live dear
if not by you
so moon and stars
shine on in hearts
that life has kissed
and we all shine on
and the Mother too
She awaits that moment
A world that lives
lives as one and lives
and loves nature too
